What C-DOT Silver Jubilee Celebrations mean to me.

(21 July 2009)

Fellows, this, for me if a time for celebration. Unadulterated and uninhibited. I would loathe to burden myself with thoughts about the second coming of the great C-DOT “experiment”, simply because it was fun while it lasted. There was nothing like this before and there will never be. Period.

Time is not continuous. That is, if you care to slice it and keep only the portions with resins on them. On the 27th August (I assume), I would like to inhale the aroma of the still fresh pies with resins on them. This aroma is also known as the “Spirit of C-DOT”, something that exists unchanged, unblemished and imbibed by all C-DOTians. Like it is with all good things that withstand the test to time, fate chooses just the right people. In that sense, we the bearers of the flame, bring the Spirit alive every time we come together. We are “touched by the hand”.

We have all come a long way. Boys to men and giggly girls to ladies proper. Our egos apace. Everybody is somebody. C-DOT was created from a bunch of nobodies. This time each one of us will have so much to shed prior to the March for we travel light no more. We have been domesticated to work for others. I, therefore, am not losing my sleep over the second coming or the new revolutions we could be part of.
